| All products
manufactured by The Crosby Group, Inc., are sold with the express
understanding that the purchaser is thoroughly familiar with the
safe and proper use and application of the product. Responsibility
for the use and application of the products rests with the user.
Failure of the product can occur
due to misapplication, abuse, or improper maintenance. Product
failure could allow property damage, personal injury or death.
There are numerous government and
industry standards that cover products made by Crosby. This catalog
makes no attempt to reference all of them. We do reference the
standards that are most frequently asked about.
Ratings Shown in Crosby Group literature
are applicable only to new or "in as new" condition
products.
Load limit ratings indicate the greatest
force or load a product can carry under usual environmental conditions.
Shock loading and extraordinary conditions must be taken into
account when selecting products for use in a system.
In general, the products displayed
in Crosby Group literature are used as parts of a system being
employed to accomplish a task. Therefore, we can only recommend
within the Working Load Limits, or other stated limitations, the
use of products for this purpose.
The Working Load Limit, or Design
Factor, or Efficiency Rating of each Crosby product may be affected
by wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional
alteration, and other use conditions. Regular inspection must
be conducted to determine whether use can be continued at the
catalog assigned WLL, a reduced WLL, or whether the product must
be withdrawn from service. |
Crosby Group
products generally are intended for tension or pull. Side loading
must be avoided, as it exerts additional force or loading which
the product is not designed to accommodate.
Welding Crosby load support parts or
products can be hazardous. Knowledge of materials, heat treatment,
and welding procedures are necessary for proper welding. Crosby
Group should be consulted for information.
The assigned Ultimate Load Rating
of Crosby Group products for the reeving of wire, manila, or synthetic
ropes is based upon design; the catalog ultimate strength for
the rope parts, when totaled, may exceed the assigned Ultimate
Load Rating.
The Working Load Limit of a sling
must not exceed the lowest Working Load Limit of the components
n the system.
The recommended Proof Load on all
items in this catalog is 2 times the Working Load Limit unless
otherwise shown.
Products that Crosby intends for
swaging are identified in this catalog. For proper swaging machine
training, operations and die selection, refer to specific product
section in this manual. To develop other product for swaging requires
knowledge of materials, heat treatment, product design, die design
and performance of the final product.
Use only new genuine Crosby parts
as replacements when servicing or repairing Crosby products.
Crosby products are to be considered
as sparking unless noted otherwise.
Product Label Replacement - In accordance with ANSI535.4-1991,
"Product Safety labels" should be inspected and cleaned.
"Product Safety labels" should be replaced when they
are no longer legible. Current Crosby warning and application
labels, for applicable products, are available from The Crosby
Group, Inc.
Two decimal and fractional
dimensions shown shown in catalog are intended as nominal dimensions
only. If three decimal dimensions are shown, contact Crosby for
